Did you send it to Pentax to repair? That's a very odd reply "tried to order this part".
Is it still in warranty?

I have two of these with no problems so far.

Hi peter i downloaded photome just to have a look but it still says my image is IMGP0284.PEF .

If the camera is not harmed in any way then i'm not that bothered i just thought it was weird that it reached 10,000 and then reset.

Thanks for your help Peter

If you look at the metadata information in Photome, not just the file/image name there is a field titled Shutter count somewhere in the manufacturers info. That will give the true shutter count.

I've been watching for some feedback too. A blessing in disguise maybe. I'm not quite so disappointed now.

That's normal and is only the image number that resets to 0 after 99999. If you check an image in Photome your shutter count should appear correct there.

1: Don't delete anything in camera unless you are short of memory.
2:The histogram will give you a good indication of whether a shot is a keeper or not if you know how to interpret it properly.

Here is a good tutorial on understanding histograms.

I think there are maybe only two Pentax 35mm film bodies that can use lenses with no aperture ring, the MZ-6 (ZX-L in the US) and the *ist. If there are any others they'll be late in the MZ/ZX series. Even the flagship MZ-S can't set an aperture from the body and so can't use the aperture ring-less lenses.

It is a great piece of kit and much more versatile than the AF080C and AF140C. I like it a lot.

Not according to this.

Well done, great package, excellent price.

One of the first things you'll probably have to do, after charging the battery, is upgrade the firmware to the latest release.

You can download it from here.

It's likely that your new camera will have the original firmware, version 1.00. To check which version it has, press and hold the Menu button while turning the power switch to on.

Enjoy your new acquisition.
